What The Laws If You Flush Badger From Cover And The Dogs Get Hold?

but hows the dogs out of control when theyre working cover that's what theyre meant to be doing and its only when the animal breaks cover when you realise whats going on? hasn't happened to me but I have seen them sheltering in hay barns etc. there should be a law in place to protect us lol

They would argue that the dog was out of control.

 

If a dog accidentally kills something then it isn't under your control is it.

 

I completely agree accidents happen, but this would be one argument the prosecution would come up with.

whats the maximum penalty for having a dog out of control?

The worst possible for me. Dog destroyed.

The High Court Judgment also stated that hunting is an intentional activity; the accidental or inadvertant hunting of a wild mammal with one or more dogs is not an offence under the Act. To prove an offence of illegal hunting it would be necessary to prove that the defendant engaged and participated in the hunting and that the hunting was intentional.

Could you use that one if your dog had been baying steady for an hour.

always a question in my mind as ive heard from oul boys about it happening. as you didn't actually go out to hunt them. maybe theyre sick or injured or just taking shelter. anybody know any info?

The only info you need at times is the ability to extradite the mutts from unwanted situations,dogs hunting about will often come across the less than desirable inhabitants of our green and pleasant land.Kick the mutts off and move on,hopefully unseen by nosey bloody bunny huggers.Learn to run fast or know how to cope with any given situation,better still,sit on the lap top and pretend.

Accidents happen and the law allows for that. But I wouldn't like to be the one trying to explain that it was a genuine accident.

 

I don't buy the 'out of control' thing, It's perfectly legal to be out rabbiting on permission and your dog accidentally nail a squirrel. I don't see why the law would be any different for a badger. You would obviously have to show that it was not your intention and you did everything in you power to stop it. Standing around while two lurchers swing a badger about won't help your argument, neither will sticking it because "we were putting it out of its missery".

 

If it ever does happen, break your dogs off and let brock go about his bussiness worse for the event. Make no attempt to harm it and every attempt to save it, provided everything else is above board you have acted within the law.

the best answer on the thread. the only reason I asked is because the amount of people in the countryside with camera phones is bound to bring more accidents to light

This kind of crazy accident happened to some friends of mine who were in the worst place at the wrong time...Completely legitimately!

 

Thankfully there wasn't much fuss made about it, and both parties agreed to disagree and moved on!

This is so f*****g wrong we get done for the sake of a piece of shit animal that should be on the pest list anyway an accident is an accident u get less for killing a person this world is f****d

Don't think any animal should be classed as a piece of shit. It shows no respect to our sport or nature.

 

Agree no respect at all

[BIG G wheton machine 1,594]

I think a mod or someone should pin the laws on it if it ever happened so that people would kno what to do if they got in an accidental mess

[Tracy Priestnall 83]

only way around it is to keep the type of dogs that wont run in on old Brock...no chance in court.

if there was no sett within 200 yards you might be able to argue your case but i doubt it.

worse still they take the dogs...even the old hound with one tooth in its head.
